XSYS has won the 2025 Excellence in Flexo Pre-Press Award by the FPPA (Flexographic Prepress Platemakers Association). Received for the nyloflex® eco series printing plates which include up to 29% bio-based components, recognizing XSYS as a sustainability trailblazer in the flexo industry.
Founded to promote high standards in the flexo prepress industry, the FPPA recognizes and celebrates outstanding achievements in innovation, sustainability, and overall excellence with this annual award. Entries are evaluated on several judging criteria including demonstrating ‘efforts to reduce waste, energy consumption, and environmental impact, as well as the implementation of eco-friendly materials and processes’. Meeting these criteria, the new nyloflex® eco series, specifically the nyloflex® eco ACT D and nyloflex® eco FAC D, have been developed for high-quality flexo printing on absorbent and non-absorbent substrates (paper, board, kraft liner, testliner, etc.) using water and solvent-based inks. The plates are perfectly suited for a whole range of fiber-based packaging applications including folding carton and corrugated post-print.
“Receiving the FPPA award for the second year in a row is testament to the dedication of everyone at XSYS to spearhead sustainable innovation for the benefit of the flexo community,” said Dan Rosen, Sales Director National Accounts, North America. “This honor confirms that the nyloflex® eco plate series – the new XSYS flagship product line – is answering a pressing market demand in flexo. With this breakthrough innovation, we are demonstrating that incremental changes in material choices and processing technology will collectively lead to significant environmental improvements.”
